Tell a friend about Camp Manito-wish

 

Since 1919, Camp Manito-wish YMCA has been providing outstanding camp and wilderness tripping experiences for boys and girls ages 10-18. Located on the shores of Boulder Lake in Boulder Junction Wisconsin, we are in the heart of the Northwoods surrounded by hundreds of lakes, rivers, streams and state forest land - the perfect place to build skills, memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
Whether you visit Manito-wish with your school for a Leadership program, for a meeting, or as a summer camper, the time you spend here will be invaluable. When you stay in such a beautiful setting and interact with our outstanding staff, you will grow in ways that will change your life and your relationship with your home, and your community. You will make lifelong friends, learn new skills, laugh, play, and travel through beautiful forests and waterways.


Summer Programs

Summer Camp
Lifelong friendships, tall pines, clear waterways, all are waiting for you at Camp Manito-wish YMCA. Sailing, horses, arts & crafts, archery, trail biking, canoeing, kayaking, and nature instruction are just some of the activities at Manito-wish. Plus, every camper goes on a wilderness camping trip!

Manito-wish offers both boys and girls camp sessions in 20-day, 14-day or 8-day lengths depending on the camper's grade level.


Outpost
Paddle your canoe through Quetico Provincial Park. Navigate your kayak through the islands of Georgian Bay, Lake Huron. Trek through Idaho, Wyoming or Montana mountain ranges. Manito-wish Outpost offers teens extended wilderness trips from 9 to 45 days. Trip destinations include Isle Royale National Park, Quetico Provincial Park, Lake Huron, Northern Saskatchewan, and the Rocky Mountains.

Manito-wish Leadership Center
Here you can focus on the needs of your organization without interruption in a beautiful wilderness setting. Camp Manito-wish YMCA is the place to gather with your group. Your time here can be as structured or unstructured as you need it to be. Enjoy innovative activities that develop group skills: setting goals, developing communication skills, taking risks, solving problems, or simply having fun while learning to lead.

The Smith Leadership Village offers a central meeting lodge featuring an indoor climbing wall, cabins that sleep up to 24 people, and the outdoor Lang Challenge Course offering high and low courses.
